Commercial Sponsorship + +Mongrel is a free open source web server and will always remain that way, but +that doesn't mean that companies don't help to make it better. + +Mongrel received sponsorship from "EastMedia Group":http://www.eastmedia.com +in partnership with "VeriSign":http://www.verisign.com/ to make Mongrel +fast and stable enough for their "PIP":http://pip.verisignlabs.com/ +which should be a great Single Sign-On application and is being released open source. + +Other companies benefiting from Ruby should take this as an example. I +can think of quite a few things (Ruby 1.9 and a real virtual machine are +just two) that need some serious commercial cash to get them in gear. If +you're making cash off Ruby consider hiring a developer part-time, +full-time, or posting a bounty for something you need as well as the +community needs. There's no better time for enlightened self-interest than now. + + +h1. The People Who Made It Possible + +There's quite a few people who either directly or indirectly helped to +make Mongrel. If I missed anyone then just e-mail me and I'll put your +name here. + +* Mongrel was started by "Zed A. Shaw":http://www.zedshaw.com/ +* Win32 support for services was done by Luis Lavena. +* Specialized Win32 gems were setup by Wilson Bilkovich. +* Why the lucky stiff implemented initial Camping support as well as improvements to Mongrel's file processing. +* Dan Kubb contributed conditional HTTP responses. + +Also with lots of testing from tons of people who are really appreciated. + + +h2. Site Template + +The site's look and template is blatantly stolen from "OWD":http://openwebdesign.org +and is specifically Copyright © 2006 "Evgeni Dinev":http://www.evgenidinev.com/ +under the "Creative Commons":http://creativecommons.org license. + + +h2.

Coding + +* "Rick Olson (aka technoweenie)":http://techno-weenie.net/ was the first to grab Mongrel + and cram "Camping":http://redhanded.hobix.com/bits/campingAMicroframework.html into it. +* "Why the lucky stiff":http://whytheluckystiff.net/ did work on getting the "Camping Framework":http://redhanded.hobix.com/bits/campingAMicroframework.html working with Mongrel more completely. +* Dan Kubb hooked up sweet Conditional HTTP Response support for Mongrel making it pretty damn fast for static files. +* Lots of other folks have sent in patches and tweaks. Let me know if I missed you. + +h2. Tools + +* "RubyForge":http://rubyforge.org/ for providing space and hooking it all up. +* "Webgen":http://webgen.rubyforge.org/ + + +h2. Testing + +Lots of people from the +"Ruby on Rails mailing list":http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails +and "ruby-lang mailing list":http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020104.html found bugs +reported them. |
